Looking for input on tube script (for legal site)

Simon · 2009-08-06, 08:31 AM

I'm looking for input on which Tube script you'd suggest for running a fake/legal tube site -- one which does not accept any surfer-submitted content and does not host any content of its own, instead only linking to sponsor hosted videos.

Aside from easily importing the links to sponsor-hosted content and a good admin for managing the site and content, some of what I'd like to be able to do is let surfers register on the site, save their favorites, rate and comment on videos, search for what they like, and any other 'Web 2.0' type features. It would also be great to have a report of what registered surfers are saving as favorites and what search terms surfers are using on the site.

So...if anyone here is running a legal tube site and is happy with the script you're using I'd be interested to hear that. And if you're not happy with your script choice, I'd like to hear that too. I'm not looking for a free script (unless it's awesome) and I don't mind spending a reasonable amount for good script which does what I want.

TIA for any suggestions you can offer.

Check out Nubile's tube script. It's pretty robust, comes with some really good templates that you can customize if you know your css, and best of all, the price is right. It comes pre-loaded with their content, but you can delete it as long as you leave their link up on the bottom of the pages.

I've only tried TEVs and Nubiles.

With TEVs the front end is completely customizable. However it currently does not have user registration or saving favorites. It does allow comments and ratings. I think the cost is reasonable and the search engines like the links. Support/help is very good.

Nubiles is free, you have to use their templates which you can change a few things via CSS if you know how. Building a custom front end design seems difficult if possible, that's why all nubile tube sites I've seen appear the same with different colors. Since you have to use a template, plugging in something else on your site is difficult. Also their links are not search engine friendly. It's like the Mac of tube scripts. Easy to set up and use, difficult to change. Since it's free, you can give it a shot yourself.

I use the Nubiles Tube script...for a freebie it's great. Easy to install and set up, and the templates look pretty good.

I only use it for sponsor hosted content, however...and I've only need able to import when the sponsor provides output in the correct format. Someone with more ability and time might could make it import anything..I don't know. Pimproll and Vidz, along with others provide the correct format, so I've got plenty of content.

I've got the beta version of JBM's Tube-X which looks promising. When the final version comes out, I will most likely use it exclusively as I've been very happy with their TGPX product. All JMB's stuff is great.

Here's my tube site...I spent very little time with it, just threw it up for my visitors to have more stuff to click on:

I use nubiles and am pretty happy with it. It comes with about 15 templates but it is a bitch to do anything with other than make some CSS changes.

There are a few people who will do custom designs.

Just a general question Ive wondered to myself.
If your surfer hasnt been exposed to a tube site.... why would you direct them to one?

~NH~ · 2009-08-06, 07:08 PM

Why Isn't There A Tube Section On Here? I Know Alot Of People Aren't Big Fans Of Them But More And More People Are Using Them. I've Had To Look Elsewhere For Research On This Exact Topic Myself.

I Just Grabbed The Automagick Tube Script Only $30
Hopefully Going To Start Setting Things Up Tonight.

If I Had The Extra Coin The Mediaxxx Script Looked Pretty Good But A Little More Pricey With All The Extras. I Think It Was Around $300

i was checking out that mediaxxx one and it is on sale for 99 it says on the site. fyi.

Just a heads up, the Mediaxxx does not have a mass import function on the $99.00 version, so you can't import sponsor hosted clips. (or import anything for that matter). They do offer and add-on for another $99.00, so it's not such a good deal, unless of course you don't need the import function. Looks like a good script, though.

Nubiles, imo, is still the best free one.

After looking around a bit, I settled on TubeX, and I'm slowly but surely learning the template system.

It was difficult for me at first, but it's "sort of" straightforward once you get your head around it. Installation is a breeze, but setting up and adding banners, logos etc requires a little getting your hands dirty. I'm sure there are people on this board who can do it in their sleep, but for me it was not what I would call easy. OTOH, importing is a piece of cake. XLM feeds work well, if you can find sponsors that have good ones. Support is excellent, and JBMsoft is well respected with a well earned excellent reputation.

Pretty soon there will be no more tube virgins...I might as well be their first, better me than some sleeze...

Honestly though, I don't know if it's a good idea. I had kicked around putting it on a seperate domain. I would be interested in what some others think. I don't like tubes, they just seem so popular these days, and I hate to miss out.

You should shuffle all those NS Cash vids around so they don't show up as a series.

What the hell is up with your typing? Do you have a sticky shift key or is the part of your brain that controls dexterity misfiring?

I'm working through a list of tube scripts I found posted at the Zoo. Most of them seem to be scrappers or more for those who want to host the videos and most allow user-uploads (optional on some).

Eliminating most them, I'm down to just a few.

The Nubiles script is one I'll stick somewhere as a test to see how it stacks up against whichever of the commercial scripts I decide to use. Then the finals are down to TEVS and TubeX, but I still do want to take a look at Tube Ace and also that expensive script with a bunny in its name.

And I'll take a look at STXtube now that's it's been mentioned since that one wasn't on my list.

Please do keep the input coming.

Thanks

added: ~NH~ wrote that Mediaxxx script was $300, but it's currently marked down to $99 -- however, it's more for allowing user-uploads and community-building based around them uploading content. I'm not interested at all in letting surfers upload videos or photos.

I attempted to install it, but got nothing except a blank page -- not even an error code. The install instructions that come in the download aren't the same as on their site, so I tried it both ways. Also, it only supports three programs. The demo is pretty, but I can't spend all morning thumbing my butt, not that I'm averse to such things.

(And yes, I'm still retired, Robert.)

It is still RC (release candidate). But no problems so far. Can we get in touch with you to find the cause? Thanks.

Don't lie UW

I know nothing about any of this - but I'd run with the JMB product - their products are first rate - and they're fair, no fees for upgrades (on everything i've ever bought from them)
